MICK McCarthy today expressed his satisfaction with Wolves hectic transfer activity since his arrival, admitting it meant heading into deadline day without the need for panic.

After Gary Breen checked in at Molineux a few days before McCarthy, the Wolves boss has brought in a further EIGHT new faces to compensate for the mass exodus from last season's squad.

So while McCarthy has still been looking around ahead of tonight's transfer deadline, he is content to sit back and wait for possible loans from the Premiership after the window closes.

"I've asked around about a few things but I'm not going to force anything through," said the manager. "We've now got decent numbers in the squad particularly once we get a few of the injured ones back.

"So if I can't get the right one in then I don't see any point committing to something long term if I don't think it's right.

"Obviously there are going to be some loans around the place after the window has shut and we can keep an eye on that situation as well."

McCarthy, who had previously pinpointed a centre back and left midfielder as the only real areas of priority remaining, will not be pursuing his interest in 27-year-old Brazilian defender Vladimir Giordani.

Giordani, who was available on a season-long loan from Marcilio Dias, played in yesterday's behind-closed-doors friendly at Preston.

"We are pleased with the work that's been done so far and that's been down to the manager making quick, positive decisions about his targets," said Moxey. "The new additions have boosted the squad and seen us enjoy a better start to the campaign than many would have predicted before Mick's arrival although we know we face tougher opponents in the coming months.

"We do not envisage doing any further business today but will continue to do what we can to strengthen the squad either through loans or in the January transfer window.

McCarthy also expressed himself delighted with the way his quickfire signings have shaped up.

"If you make signings and they come in and contribute you've got to be pleased and most of ours have done that," McCarthy added. "Perhaps the only one who we haven't really seen yet is Gui (Finkler) and there are reasons for that.

"When he first came in I'm not sure whether it was as a first team player or a potential first team player.

"But first of all we were trying to get him settled in because he doesn't speak English and then he got injured.

"Although he hasn't played I think it's fair to say everyone else has made a contribution."

Leon Clarke's 85th minute goal helped Wolves to a 1-0 win in yesterday's game at Deepdale which also included runouts for Carl Cort, Craig Davies, Rohan Ricketts, Darren Potter and Daniel Jones.

Meanwhile one of those departed, Paul Ince, is still poised to join Swindon providing they can persuade the Football League to sanction the deal.

Despite late interest from Crewe, Ince has agreed to join the League Two high-flyers but there is concern it will take the club's wagebill above 60 per cent of their turnover, which is contrary to league regulations.

Swindon have sent their business plan to the league in the hope of getting Ince on board as soon as possible.
